Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dad, you think I'm crazyDid you ever stop to thinkMaybe I'm one of the few Sane people left?You think I'm a childYou keep me from experiencesDad, I know you love meHow many people are youGoing to protect me from?I can't be your bigBusiness Woman orthe Natural Scientist you seeDecked with Gold.I just see the worldWhat I wanna keepwhat has to goI've just got to questionDamn the status quoAnd unlike you,I don't care how much it pays.I've always prided myselfThinking I knew you bestCos I'm most like youNow I don't know what to think.When did you become so dogmatic?Is it men or is it just you?I'm lostAnd why are there thingsI just can't talk to you about?Cos it makes you feel uncomfortable..I do love youNo question about itBut you can't plan my lifeWhy do I feel like I owe you something?Just look at me...I think you avoid confrontationBut I'm not keeping anything from youI'm not doing anything wrongWhy should I cheat my way?Can you just tell meYou trust meYou have faith in my choicesIn my life..Let me be all I can beI have so much to giveI'm not asking for a whole lotJust let me live...
